ed Ihe commercial greatness of this
country Is due t0 the tariff. adding that
It would be “the salvation of England."

a fund with which to bring to America

t'nder recent increases. the South-

Henry H. Sykes says that within the
past few months new lines have been
built connecting towns by telephone
that have never had the service be-

At present there are but five towns

telephone services and before the ex
tensions now under way are finished

of the State has also been “hitched up"

list of towns having telephones.
In gathering State election returns.
difficulty and delay have been experi
enced, in getting returns from remote
districts because there were no tele-
phones. aud the returns in some in-
stances had to be carried by messen-
gers of the telephone company mount-
ed on bicycles and in wagons’to the
nearest telephone station. With the
extensions made, it is expected that
the work of collecting the returns in
the future will be much facilitated.
In many instances the extensi0n of
the telephone lines into remote
parts of the State has been the result
of demands of the farmers for tele-
phone service.
